Open Source @LinkedIn

Open source was always at the heart of our development at LinkedIn. For
example, our search engine is built on Lucene with an extension which we
contributed back to the community. This is also true of our Data
Infrastructure, where some of our core components such as Voldemort and Kafka were
developed from the outset with the intent to be open sourced.

Why do we do it? Why do we open source? Simply put, sharing knowledge and recognizing that we are all
part of a broader community is part of our core culture at LinkedIn.
Contributing back to the open source community is on one side forcing us
to write better code and on the other reaching out to the best, brightest
and most interested individuals to explore what's new and help us further
build our components.

contribute where you believe you can make an impact.
